They’re also just boiling with hydrogen

This year, the Salzgitter Group is once again putting its green steel brand SALCOS at the centre of its appearance at HANNOVER MESSE. But personnel recruitment will also play a role.

This year, the steelmakers of Salzgitter AG are presenting themselves at HANNOVER MESSE under the motto “A new way of thinking for a new industry – #hierpassierts”. The aim is to emphasise the company’s leading role in the circular economy and in the sustainable restructuring of the economy.

At the Salzgitter AG stand C62 in hall 13, everything will once again revolve around the group’s own green steel brand SALCOS. With the SALCOS transformation programme of the same name, the Salzgitter Group is in the process of gradually converting its steel production to hydrogen-based processes in order to establish almost CO₂-free steel production. In addition to a wealth of information about Salzgitter AG, the products of its individual subsidiaries and the SALCOS transformation programme, this year’s trade fair stand will also be hosting a presentation by the Hydrogen Campus Salzgitter e.V., which is committed to promoting and developing pioneering hydrogen technologies.

In addition, the Salzgitter AG Human Resources department will be represented throughout the entire trade fair to provide interested visitors with information about the numerous career opportunities in the Salzgitter Group.

Frank Seinsche, responsible for trade fairs at the Salzgitter Group: “As pioneers in the industry, we are demonstrating at our trade fair stand how hydrogen-based steel production will enable the production of virtually CO2-free steel in the future. In addition, steel plays an important role in the development of a hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. The group will use large quantities of hydrogen for production in the future, is currently building its own large electrolyser and offers suitable pipes for the development of hydrogen networks.”
